Description
English: Cast copper alloy thimble length 18mm, thickness 1mm, diameter of aperture 19mm. There small drilled vertical pits that being in the centre of the crown and spiral down covering the crown and the whole of the body. These pits are likely to have been hand drilled and would date this artefact to the Late Medieval, therefore a date of 1350-1500 is the most likely.
